In Control

It feels so good to have the feeling of control over food. I am already down 1.6 lbs just by counting calories and being more aware. So why did I waste 2008 being fat and miserable? I am over it, moving on. I can't wait to weigh in on Saturday if I have a great week this week and keep count and eat healthy. I am ready!

Does it ever end?!

This is the first Saturday in months I have spent all day at home (besides going to Wal Mart to stock up on xmas sales.) I have been putting up xmas, organizing wrapping paper and ribbons, and cleaning out one closet, out of many! I am exhausted and have so much more to do! I try to keep the house picked up but clutter just seems to take over easily. My kitchen and living room stay clean but the "junk room" and closets get overwhelming. So I hope I am burning calories today! lol.
On the food end, yesterday I did great, stayed at 1500 cal and 50 fat grams. The scale was down a little today. Today is my official weigh in day at 208.6 lbs. I will weigh on Saturday's moving forward. I will also post my food journal later tonight for today's food. Not so healthy today but it is still in my cal range. I am by myself today, husband is working until 9pm tonight. I better get back to the grind and put up everything.

Here I am!

Well, here I am! I found this website on blogtolose, so I thought I would give this a try. I know it's christmas eve, but I have done well today. Tomorrow will be a challenge so I am going to start counting calories and fat grams on Friday. I will be eating around 1500 cal a day and no more than 30% calories from fat, so 50 fat grams. I have found that this is the most successful for me. I have done WW before and have lost but my body seems to respond better to counting cal/fat grams. I will be posting my food journal on here also. I own an ellipitcal, many dvd's and other equipment so there is no excuse not to work out. I just graduated from college and we don't have kids yet so I have nothing but time in the evenings after work. No more excuses!
